Sword Cane

old man, i don’t wanna fight you
there’s a blade housed in your walking stick
i can tell that your frailty is fake
your reflexes are much too quick
i don’t know if you’re a super villain
or a stately menacing guy
but i know that if i battle you
i’ll get a puncture wound in my thigh
you have a sword cane
old man, it’s obvious
that you’re adept at that weapon you wield
but i surmise that your strength is in surprise
for the weapon itself is concealed
